   Summary

   Forced away from his home in Ealdor after bandits have raided them once too many times, Merlin is forced to find a new home. Choosing to live with his uncle Gaius whom he's never met, he heads towards Camelot a kingdom known to have things nowhere else has. When arriving, it becomes apparent that something sinister occurs whenever the sun goes down. With new casualties and infected every night, Merlin finds himself lost and unable to leave Camelot.
